I purchased my fiancé's ring in Pienza, Tuscany in secret after she tried it on and said she loved it. It's an antique: 110-120 years old, Italian red gold, miners' diamonds. When she'd tried it on in the store, it was a perfect fit. Several months later when I proposed, the ring was literally 2.5 sizes too big (she'd clearly had inflammation from the travel, heat, etc. when she tried it on). We also noticed one of the diamonds was ever so slightly loose. We were told by some that it was impossible to size down. I was extremely worried about american jewelers damaging or ruining the ring. The antique gold, the placement of the diamonds, everything was too complicated. Thank goodness we got the recommendation to go to Sausalito jewelers. Their in house jeweler, Paulo, is Italian and holds master jeweler certification from Florence. He did an absolutely perfect restoration. He brought it down over 2 sizes, he gave it a gentle polish, and he was able to adjust the loose ring. He did this work without in any way changing or distorting the original look or shape of the ring. I cannot tell you how happy we are with it. Also, huge shout out to Sam and Aida who work there, did the consultation with us, and who are always willing to give our pup, Pax, a treat. I cannot give enough compliments or thanks to this team. read more

Sam is simply "The Jeweler " the best there is and he and Aida are two of the nicest and most knowledgeable people you could ever meet.

Sam was very helpful getting me in and Paolo did a fabulous job resizing my wedding ring to get it over my arthritic knuckle (!!) and polished it up like new. If I could give six stars I would! Don't hesitate to trust them for repair! read more

I have had jewelry made here, cleaned, fixed, resized, everything! They can do it all. Very professional. Relaxing location, wonderful staff and I do think they are a great value for area. I can find small gold gifts for my daughters on a whim here-that is real gold and a great value. I trust Sam and his staff to always be able to help everyone I know when it comes to jewelry. And jewelry-you need many years to gain the trust-which we have long established. Great place to go for your jewelry needs- parking can be tricky but worth it. read more

Look no further, this place is a 10 out of 10! The owners are so talented and thoughtful, and the store truly has something for everyone. I brought my channel set diamond wedding band to be repaired and Sam not only fixed it in record time, he made it better than when it was new. He went above and beyond, and even polished my other rings so the whole set looks stunning. I've been getting compliments non-stop. I'll never go anywhere else. Thank you! read more

We highly recommend Sausalito Jewelers. Sam and Aida walked us through everything step of the process, from finding the perfect stone to designing the perfect ring. They are experts and artists, and they were able to incorporate all of our requests into the most beautiful custom ring. Throughout the process, we saw hand drawn markups, computer models, and physical molds of the ring before settling on the final product. Their patience deserves medals. It was an absolute pleasure and we have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Also--she said yes! read more

After a major mishap with the sizing of my ring, I came in asking for a resize to find that the ring was too many sizes too big to do that and that it needed to be rebuilt. They were so kind about my dismay and congratulated us (newly engaged!) while explaining all of the things they could do to help. They gave us a very nice deal, and I vowed to come there for all of my jewelry needs moving forward. I was so grateful for their kindness and understanding. I know the ring will be even more beautiful when they are finished with it. read more

Trust is the word that comes to mind in reviewing Sausalito Jewelers and their team. I asked them to expand an extremely old ring. The team made this a very personal and caring experience, and they did an excellent job at explaining the process and executing it. They were also good at communicating well about the logic and breakdown of pricing, including the pricing of precious metal. Their skill and care in handling a ring of such age through this expansion means so much to me and my family. The team seemed to genuinely appreciate the opportunity to work on a ring that was crafted long ago. They admired the work and techniques of these older days. I felt that they integrated the use of modern laser technology for the expansion in a way that came out flawlessly. And their respect and admiration for the old ring-making techniques honored those who came before us in a beautiful way. Thank you, Sausalito Jewelers team. read more

Love this jewelry store! Such beautiful pieces and service is incredible. Would highly recommend.

From start to finish, Sausalito Jewelers is the place to get the perfect diamond engagement ring. They have access to a wide array of diamonds and, once selected, they will create a custom, one-of-a-kind ring. Their service is impeccable, their knowledge of diamonds and design is impressive, and their discretion allows for a true suprise when the question is popped. From the moment we walked in their door, we knew we had found the right place! read more

I was looking for a pair of earrings for an upcoming vacation. I was in Sausalito and came across Sausalito Jewelers. I had such a great experience! Sam, the owner, was extremely helpful and patient. I can't express enough good things about the staff at Sausalito Jewelers. I HIGHLY recommend this jewelry store if you are looking for that perfect piece of jewelry. read more

The service is excellent. The only Jeweler I've ever trusted. Custom jewelry anything you dream of they can make it for you. They can also help you design what you're thinking about. The prices are excellent. I have been coming to this Jeweler since 2005 when I got married. read more

I went here to design an engagement ring. Aida and the team were a huge help with every step from start to finish. My fiancé and I could not be happier with the final product. I highly recommend Sausalito Jewelers for their expertise and selection. read more

This is an outstanding jewelry store. The service is not only superb, but both Sam and Aida make you feel that you are important to them. Sam is knowledgeable about not just the extraordinary jewelry sold in their store, but about jewelry that you bring in for servicing or cleaning. He's helpful and truly trustworthy. I love Sausalito Jewelers and can't recommend it highly enough. Thanks Aida and Sam for all of your help and for your kindness. Cathy read more

I went to Sausalito Jewelers for an engagement ring and couldn't be happier with the service and final outcome of our custom ring. Aida and Sam were both so genuine and helpful I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. The highlights for me were: I felt very taken care for such an important life event, they happily and patiently answered all my basic questions, I knew who I was going to be working with during the custom ring process, they showed us a 3D printed ring of our design before casting it, and really like that it is a local business. Thanks Aida and Sam! We love the ring! read more

Unbelievable experience working with Sam on a custom ring project for our engagement. He met with us by appointment and really got a good understanding for what we wanted. We were thrilled with the final design and after wearing it for a month, my fiancé could not be happier. I set a budget up front and let Sam work with her to build the ring of her dreams over 8 weeks. The final product is truly first-rate. The ring was moderately expensive but super reasonable given the exquisite quality and traceable provenance of the gems. We strongly recommend this business for anyone looking to have an enjoyable and rewarding experience with custom jewelry. Sam is the best! read more

Sausalito Jewelers has gorgeous, custom-designed, ethically sourced jewelry and is very conveniently located just off Sausalito's main street, Bridgeway-but that's just the beginning of why I like to visit. Whenever i've stopped by, Sam gives me great advice and mini-lessons in gemology. I find myself saying "wow" a lot in my chats with Sam. Every visit is a pleasure, and I walk away enlightened and intrigued. It's the kind of store you build a relationship with. read more

I have had nothing short of an amazing experience working with Sam and Jess at Sausalito Jewelers. I designed my engagement ring and wedding band as well as purchased my fiancé's wedding band through them and I'm so happy I did. They have a super customizable process and work with you to create exactly what you're looking for. I selected a three stone setting on display and they were able to tweak the design to have a lower profile, small side stones with pear shaped diamonds, rose gold instead of the white gold on display, and they were happy to set my own diamond in as the center stone. I also love their color of rose gold - not too pink/brassy. Before the final ring was created, I had several opportunities to view the 3D printed mold of my ring and make adjustments beforehand. And I can't forget about Paulo - who is the one behind the scenes masterfully creating the beautiful jewelry- God bless that man who resized my ring twice to get it to a size 3.25. On top of that, the prices are good for the quality of the ring, the excellent service, and the customizability. I honestly think they are capable of creating almost ANY design you could think of. Thank you guys! read more

Sausalito Jewelers was amazing! My engagement ring did not come with a matching band. Sausalito Jewelers was able to make a custom band, made sure it had the exact details that I wanted and made sure it was flush against my ring. Sam took the time to sit down with us to design our ring the first visit. The next visits they created a mold of the ring, which we saw and could modify, and created the final product. We drove their multiple times from Fairfield, CA to make sure the ring was perfect. Sam was extremely knowledgeable and the price of the ring was fair. If I need any other custom jewelry I will definitely be back! read more

I had an absolutely incredible experience at Sausalito Jewelers. Jess was very sweet and supportive when my now fiancée and I first came in to look at engagement rings. I later went in to pick the one that I wanted to propose to my partner with, and Jess was so helpful throughout the entire process and I ended up finding the perfect ring. It was hands down the best ring shopping experience I've ever had and I would highly recommend them! read more

A couple years ago I walked in to inquire about an engagement ring for my girlfriend at the time. I immediately was assisted by Jessica, who was so helpful and so passionate making it such an amazing first visit. Since then Jessica, Sam and the rest of the team worked with me to create the perfect engagement ring. Since I had such a good experience, I went back with my (at that point) fiance for our wedding bands as well. This time Sam walked us through the whole process and we couldn't be happier with how our rings came out. Overall I am so grateful that I spontaneously saw Sausalito Jewelers on a random day and decided to walk in. My (now) wife and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience start to finish! read more

Sam is the man. My husband and I came in for wedding bands. Sam was extremely helpful and able to expedite our wedding bands so we would have them in time for our wedding. His customer service is top notch. Our wedding bands looks great and we are two very happy customers! read more

My fiancé and I recently got engaged and I was referred to Sam by my sister-in-law. She had her engagement ring, and several other special pieces, re-designed/produced by Sausalito Jewelers years ago and I trusted her recommendation. She forewarned me that the process could be long and frustrating at times, but that it would be worth it in the end. Looking back now (3 months later), nothing anyone could have said would have prepared my fiancé and I for the disappointing experience we had with Sam. We thought it was slightly odd that there was no jewelry in the store when we arrived for our initial consultation, but we attributed it to COVID strangeness and low inventory/supply. When I handed over my treasured diamonds in exchange for what was to be a 'unique and special design', it was because I trusted him. When Sam talked at length about all of the expensive equipment he uses to create unique ring designs, but then failed to make a simple sketch for us after 2 1/2 months, we thought it was strange, but given that we were trying to customize a ring leveraging existing stones, I trusted him. When Sam ghosted me for weeks and failed to produce a CAD design as promised, I knew something was wrong. He claimed everything "was out of his control". Ultimately, we made the decision to give up on Sam and all of his unfulfilled promises. If you are looking for a talented and trustworthy jewelry designer to work with you on a meaningful piece that you will treasure, save yourself the headache and avoid Sausalito Jewelry. Sad but true. read more

My fiancé and I had a perfect experience working with Jess at Sausalito Jewelers. We wanted to create a custom setting that fit my style but also enhanced the family diamond we had for the engagement ring. Jess was patient and helpful during the entire process. Once we agreed on a design, we left the diamond at Sausalito Jewelers and were told the ring would be ready in 2-3 weeks. Jess emailed us the virtual design, then photos of the 3D printed wax mold so that we could confirm we liked the design before the setting was created using platinum. We picked up the engagement ring 3 weeks later and absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Sausalito Jewelers to anyone shopping for engagement rings, wedding bands, etc. The service is exceptional. read more

Came into Sausalito Jewelers looking for someone to polish an older ring... little did I know we'd be walking out with my dream engagement ring! Sam is so kind and so knowledgeable about his industry. He explained all of the unique details about my ring, which made us fall in love with it even more. Not only did the original ring I sent in for polishing come out looking brand new, they sized the engagement ring on the spot, and had it shining brilliantly before we left with it. Truly an incredible experience buying from Sausalito Jewelers. We'll be returning customers for years to come. read more

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. When I travel- I like to pop into local jewelery stores to see what kind of interesting piece I can buy that will remind me of that trip. And Sausalito Jewelers did not disappoint. We were window shopping on a recent Saturday, killing time before taking the ferry back across the bay. And that's when I saw it. A perfect piece that would make people ask "where'd you get that?" and then I can launch into my story of a perfect weekend in San Francisco and the side trip to Sausalito. As I walked into the store- we were greeted by a lovely woman who removed the pieces I was looking at from the case and who also gave us some information about the artist who designed them My internal debate did not take long as I knew I wanted it if the price was right. . . .and it was! The necklace and earrings were soon mine and I left the store already thinking about when I would be able to wear them. A simple design, but one that will remind me over and over again of that perfect afternoon in Sausalito. read more

We went to Sausalito Jewelers for both our engagement ring and wedding bands. For the engagement ring, Sam and Aida picked out a few different diamonds for us to choose from that fit the shape and size we were looking for, then helped us construct our dream ring. Sam and Aida showed great care in ensuring that the experience was fun, easy, and collaborative between couple and ring designer, and the outcome was a gorgeous engagement ring! We returned a few months later to choose wedding bands, and were just as pleased with the professionalism and attention to detail the second time around. Thanks Sausalito Jewelers for all the help and beautiful pieces! read more

I live in Sausalito, so anything downtown I am immediately skeptical of being a complete tourist trap. So I was a little surprised to see the rave reviews this place got time and again-- it wasn't just seashell necklaces and overpriced rings?? I swung by one day, in need of a repair for my engagement ring, and met Jess. Jess is totally authentic, incredibly knowledgable, and just really damn nice. Don't let the downtown Sausalito location fool you-- these guys are the real deal, and will help you out with whatever you need, with reasonable prices to boot. read more

Sausalito Jewelers was one of the best and most personal shopping experiences I've ever had. Buckle in and grab a tissue because I can't share this epic retail experience of mine without waning poetic... Before we were married, my darling husband did something really selfish--he left me. In an instant, a thousand blissful moments of love and connection seemed to disappear. Dumbfounded and heartbroken, I packed all of my belongings into my car, said throat-knotted goodbyes to all my loved ones, and set out on a cross-country roadtrip. Everyday, I wrote and I cried. After a month, the ocean of sorrow that had once consumed me had been reduced to just another marvelous scar across the vast mortal landscape. The natural flow of time and the gifts of nature--people, books, animals, our earthly landscape--worked to heal me. And then, after a month of silence, he showed up. He found me in Alliance, Nebraska, where I was to witness the totality of the 2017 solar eclipse. Surrounded by people wearing welding masks, heads tilted to the sky, we shared it all. This is the work of relationship: sharing your suffering. It was a surreal day of revelations...And staring at the golden ring of sunlight around the moon, he held my hand and slid a diamond ring onto my finger. YES, I ALMOST THREW UP...Because, ya know, TIMING. But as Bill Hicks famously said, "Life is just a ride." We go up and we go down. Sometimes we let our egos or deep-seated fears run amok and sometimes we listen to ourselves with compassion and reverence, which enables us to gift others with the same. He told me how, after his great revelation, he literally ran to the Sausalito Jewelers where he met the owner, Sam, who simply listened, without asking any questions. He told me that Sam was "the only person I felt comfortable talking to during that hard time." After a period of tearful deep-diving, we reconciled and returned to the Bay Area. One day, I went to the Sausalito Jewelers to meet Sam, "the wise one." The tall, olive-skinned shopkeeper has a smile that lends to a sage--a natural salesman sans a dishonest bone in his body. He remembered my partner immediately. "He was pretty frazzled when he came in, said he needed it tomorrow--which never happens...I can tell he's a great guy...we talked for a while..." I gave him a hug, without saying anything else. He had offered more support for my man than he'd ever know... I went back to the shop two more times to get the diamond re-set, and I got to meet sweet, beautiful Jessica. Oh, Jessica! Sharp, accommodating, stylish, so personable--I felt like she was enthusiastically (and kind of secretly) sharing her passion with me--jewelry creation! Her bright eyes and kind smile, she followed through on all the calls and emails--doing everything she could to make sure that I knew all my options and got exactly what I wanted. When I went to pickup the finished sun-moon diamond re-set on a gold band, I brought her a gardenia flower as a small gesture of gratitude for her kindness. She started to cry as it was her Grandmother's favorite flower, who she had been missing and speaking of just earlier that morning... Sometimes, life is really, really hard. Some person, some thing, some idea abandons you and all feels lost. And then, there are moments of perfect balance--when you discover great beauty in something you've seen a thousand times before; or you embrace forgiveness in a way you never thought possible; or you meet a stranger who turns out to be a calming presence amidst a storm of chatter and strife. Thank you, Sam and Jessica, for your calming, supportive presence. May you continue to grace the waterfront with your gifts and your grace! read more

Plenty to say about a great experience! I took the plunge and leaned on Jessica and Sam to help me make some big decisions on an engagement ring. I'm a hardcore shopper and leave no stone unturned especially on big purchases. Budget and value is a delicate balance and they helped me navigate that very well. Jessica provided a first class experience for a custom ring and stone selection. She knows the trends and is very tactful. She thought of every little detail and I'm glad I trusted her opinions. Sam shared industry and general knowledge I didn't find despite exhaustive research. Great guy all around. They made the process super smooth and actually fun. Provided pics of the build and were very communicative and accommodating throughout it all. Would absolutely buy from them again but not planning on it! ;) What is a daunting experience for most guys they made it very positive. My now fiancé, loves her ring and stone! I can't say enough. Thank you both!!! read more

I cannot speak more highly of Sam and Jess at Sausalito Jewelers. They are total pros when it comes to jewelry and two of the nicest people on the planet. I had purchased a last minute baby gift for a friend's 1 year old and of course waited until the last minute to have it engraved...Sam totally went above and beyond and personally dropped it off with their engraver to ensure I'd be able to have it back in time for the birthday party. THANK YOU SAM! You are seriously the best. For anyone in Sausalito (or elsewhere for that matter!), do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to Sausalito Jewelers for all your jewelry needs :) read more

We had the most delightful experience here. Had a ring resized. Very impressed with Sausalito Jewelers and the owner.

We got both an engagement ring and our wedding rings at Sausalito Jewelers. We were absolutely blown away by how generous and personable Sam is, and by his entire staff (Jessica, in particular, was helpful and always remembered us!). From start to finish they made us feel comfortable with the process, comfortable with the budget, and confident that we were getting the absolute highest quality pieces. One thing in particular that was perfect was that each ring was customized to meet our tastes and preferences. They have lots of amazing jewelry to start with, but getting to add (or in our case, remove) detail meant that we got the absolute right rings. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable about this industry, and he has impeccable taste. Finally, everything about this experience indicated to us that Sam is in this for the long-term relationship, not the one-time sale. We already know that whenever we need (want!) fine jewelry in the future, we're headed back here. We trust this place. We know they have great pieces. We know the staff is warm and generous. Thanks so much guys! read more

Sausalito Jewelers - Celebrating our beautiful wedding rings - Sausalito Jewelers - Jewelry Near Me - Sausalito, California

I don't even know where to start on how AMAZING Sam and Jessica are. It all started with my now Fiance and I browsing rings (slightly on a whim?). We started up in North Marin and trickled our way down to every jeweler until the GG Bridge. Last (and final) stop: Sausalito Jewelers. We had a good idea in our heads of what we wanted our ring to look like & wasn't ready to budge. Every other shop tried high-pressure sales tactics to get us to buy a setting they had in stock. Sam would not even entertain the idea of trying to "sell me something." Instead, he gathered a collection of data on what we liked and immediately crafted a custom setting built in-house -- exactly what we had visioned in our heads! There is no other woman in the world with the same ring as my Fiance and it is all thanks to Sam and Jess. They did a wonderful job and rather than high-pressure sales tactics, they instead educated us so we could make the right decision. I even sort of feel like a gemologist now... :) Highly recommended! We are looking forward to coming back in the next few months to have a matching wedding band made! read more

We had a fantastic experience at Sausalito Jewelers. My fiancé and I wanted to look at rings together, since it's such a big purchase. We made an appointment online and met with Jess, who explained their totally custom design experience. She emphasized choosing and falling in love with your center stone and choosing something timeless and classic that you will love forever. That was really helpful advice for a commitment-phobe like me. What really set SJ apart for us was their ability to do totally custom ring settings at no additional fee. We had them incorporate a "C" into the setting, and it turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We paid for the diamond and the price of the materials used to create the setting and didn't have to pay additional fees when we asked for tweaks to the design. The result was a ring that my fiancé and I are totally in love with and bonded over creating together. We also got to visit the beautiful store in Sausalito several times and really got to know the staff, which were added bonuses. read more

We found Sausalito Jewelers while searching for a jeweler in the area that could custom create the ring of my dreams, and let me tell you, they did just that. Sam and Jessica were incredible from the second we walked in, listening to my ideas of what I wanted while sharing their wisdom and expertise. They walked us through every step of the process and really worked with us to create my dream ring at our price point. When Daniel picked up the ring and proposed, we were blown away at how incredible the ring turned out. We were expecting a lot, and it turned out even better than we expected... Thank you Sam and Jessica for creating my dream ring. You are incredible and looking at this beauty will never get old... read more
